Recklessness

Reckless...Reckless...Reckless...

I have never been a "reckless" person. I am starting now. I haven't had the faith I needed to be "reckless". It's happening as my fingers hit the keys of this computer keyboard. I have never solidified the stirring that God has placed on my heart in black and white. It has, up until now, been a constant conversation of "what if" and "maybe one day" statements. God has placed a stirring in my heart to not desire the best of the world, but the least of the world. He is placing a thorn in me that can not be covered up by make-up and pretty hair, it can not be captured in the perfect photograph, it can not be found in the perfect husband, or bought with all the riches of this world. This thorn is one that has a face, a face that looks nothing like mine. I have a heart for the orphan...God is in the process of sending us to a far off place where some how and some way we are being called to put aside the world and care for his children.

China...China...China...

And you are saying "You're crazy...crazy...crazy." All I can say is your right...crazy about all that God has planned for me and my family.

I have no idea how to get there, how to do it, where to go, or how to raise my children in a new place....but God does and that is what we are leaning on.

Join us on our reckless, crazy China journey as we are KEPT in God's arms, promises and love!
